A charming character-filled 3 bedroom semi-detached cottage with a pretty courtyard garden in the heart of Axbridge, the highly regarded smallest town in Somerset, with excellent amenities
2 Jubilee Cottages is a charming 3 bedroom property that has been the subject of a recent programme of comprehensive refurbishment and redecoration. Character features including inglenook fireplaces, an exposed ceiling beam and a cottage garden combine with contemporary function and efficiency to create a wonderful family home in the heart of Axbridge.
The word "cottage" sometimes suggests low ceiling heights and dark interiors with small windows, but this is certainly not the case here. The ceiling heights on both floors are excellent, and the neutral décor throughout plus good -sized windows to all rooms create light and airy accommodation.
The kitchen is beautifully equipped with a striking tiled floor and recently installed attractive stone wall tiles, plus a comprehensive range of sage green wooden wall and base units including deep pan drawers. To one side there is an eye-level Zanussi oven and gas hob and space for a washing machine near the Butler's sink: opposite is a useful breakfast bar area, with space nearby for a large fridge/freezer. The part-glazed stable door onto the rear courtyard garden enhances the "cottage" feel and light floods through the 2 kitchen windows. The spacious dining room beyond is surprisingly large, with an exposed wooden ceiling beam and a wonderful inglenook fireplace with reclaimed timber mantle. French doors open onto the courtyard garden beyond and there is a useful under-stairs storage area. An attractive slate tiled floor gives a sense of flow to the accommodation, running from the dining room to the entrance hallway where the front door opens onto Meadow Street. Double doors from the dining room open onto the sitting room that sits to the front of the property and features solid oak flooring along and a stylish contemporary vertical radiator along with a newly-installed multi-fuel wood burner.
Neat, level, stairs rise to the airy upstairs landing, where light floods through the overhead Velux window. There is a very spacious wet room, 3 bedrooms and a useful airing cupboard, and there is a large, boarded attic providing potential for conversion, subject to the necessary permissions.
Outside – to the front is a gravelled garden, ideal for pots, and to the rear the courtyard garden incorporates a good sized shed. Designed for low maintenance, and mainly paved, there are attractively planted raised beds to either side, with some pretty climbers and cottage plants, and the sheltered position makes it a wonderful space to sit and enjoy the surroundings. Parking - there is no allocated parking but there is a (free) public car park adjacent to the property (max 2 hours, unrestricted 8pm-8am) and additional free parking nearby at Old Church Road.
Location - The smallest town in Somerset, Axbridge is a charming medieval town nestling at the foot of the Mendip Hills with glorious country walks on the doorstep.
